1.2 Benefits of Archive and Version Services

With Novell Archive and Version Services for OES 11 SP3, if you lose a key file, you have resources available to recover quickly and relatively painlessly. You simply view a list of recent versions of the file, select the file needed, then recover it.

Novell Archive and Version Services offers many benefits:

  • The versioning process is transparent until you need to restore a previous version of a file. Versioning does not affect how applications behave and requires no action on your part.

  • All security features and permissions are in effect for the file versions.

  • Versioning supports heterogeneous work environments:

    • Versioning works with any type of file from any type of application.

    • You can restore file versions while working from anywhere, at any time, using an active network or Internet connection.

You control the version recovery; there is no need to completely rebuild a file or to involve the IT department to restore it. Novell Archive and Version Services helps to minimize your unproductive time and frees the administrator to focus on other critical issues.
